Profile data migration
To make it easier to collect data to a Profile, Batch has added two automatic ways to migrate old installation's data on a Profile:
- User will be automatically identified (logged-in) if he had a Batch
custom_user_id
set on the local storage. - User natives (language/region) and custom data will be automatically migrated to a Profile.
These migrations are triggered when your application on the dashboard is attached to a Project. Concretely this mean that there's two possible scenarios:
- Your app is running on the plugin v5 or before and is already attached to a Project : migrations will be triggered on the first start running on plugin v6.
- Your app is running on the plugin v6 but not attached to a Project: migrations will be triggered on the first start after your app is attached to a project.
These migrations are enabled by default, but you may want to disable them, to do so update your sdk configuration setup as following :
batch.setConfig({
iOSAPIKey:"<YOUR_IOS_APIKEY>",
androidAPIKey:"<YOUR_ANDROID_APIKEY>",
migrations: {
// Whether Batch should automatically identify logged-in user when running the SDK for the first time.
// This mean user with a custom_user_id will be automatically attached a to a Profile and could be targeted within a Project scope.
profileCustomIdMigrationEnabled: false,
// Whether Batch should automatically attach current installation's data (language/region/customDataAttributes...)-->
// to the User's Profile when running the SDK for the first time.
profileCustomDataMigrationEnabled: false,
}
});
batch.start();
